WhatsApp e-cards, video invites and wedding websites — what they are, what they cost in India, and the community designs to choose from. And the one thing families share before the invitation: the marriage biodata.
A digital wedding invitation is an online version of your wedding card — a designed image, PDF, short video or web link — that you share instantly over WhatsApp, Instagram and email instead of (or alongside) printed cards. It's cheaper, paperless, reaches relatives worldwide in seconds, and can track RSVPs.
Formats
Pick by budget, guest list and how much wow you want.
A designed still card (JPG or PDF) you send straight on WhatsApp. Quick, affordable, and the most popular digital format in India.
A 30–60 second animated or cinematic video with your names, dates and ceremonies — the highest-engagement format for WhatsApp and Instagram.
A shareable link with the full schedule, venue maps, photo gallery and RSVP tracking — ideal for large or NRI guest lists.

Get the match fixed first — the invitations come later.
